They get him to the counter.

ROBBY:

As I remove your cuffs, I want you

to put your hands here. Spread

your legs. More.

As they remove the cuffs, the Kid makes a sudden move

toward Sharon, reaching between her legs --but she was

not only ready for this, but hoping for it --and the

stoniness of her face cracks into fierce anger as she

moves quickly and grabs the Kid by the hair, bringing his

face into her upraised knee. He cries out and goes down

on his knees, hurting and bleeding. The jailer rushes

over to help, but Robby grabs the Kid’s wrists.

ROBBY:

That’s it. Back off, John, we got

it.

Robby glances at Sharon --a dark glance.

EXT. POLICE JAIL PARKING LOT -DAY (LATER)

as Robby and Sharon walk to their car. They are

interrupted by one of their lieutenants, SANDERMAN,

walking their way and stopping to stare at Sharon. She

meets his look.

SANDERMAN:

You trying to be a bad-ass, Pogue?

She is straightforward, not rebellious.

SHARON:

I just dealt with the situation.

The prisoner...

CONTINUED:

SANDERMAN:

And you don’t see a pattern here?

(pause)

I want you to keep yourself way

inside the line instead of walking

on it. All right? Are you taking

notes?

He walks away, and Sharon and Robby walk on to their

car --she is dark; he is glancing at her.

ROBBY:

You broke his nose.

SHARON:

He grabbed me. End of story.

ROBBY:

And you were waiting for him. You

were hoping. You were making

long-range plans for his ass while

he was mouthing off in the car -and

you’re supposed to be above

that sh*t.

SHARON:

If you think I crossed the line,

put it in the report.

ROBBY:

Pogo, stop the sh*t. What is it?

You pissed off at me, too?

They enter the car, Sharon behind the wheel.

SHARON:

Not you, Rob. You’re a rare

unthreatened male cop with a good

marriage, and you like to eat

where I eat --so everything’s

code four.

She STARTS the CAR and starts to back out, and he reaches

over and turns OFF the IGNITION. She stares hotly at

him --but then, slowly, she softens, takes a deep

breath.

ROBBY:

Come over for dinner tonight.

I’ll call Charlene. She’d like to

see you. It’s been awhile. We’ll

talk about it.

(CONTINUED)

8.

CONTINUED:

She STARTS the CAR again, more calm, starts to drive out

of the lot.

SHARON:

Thanks. But she’ll invite

friends, try and fix me up. She’s

always trying to fix me up so she

doesn’t have to worry about you

and me.

ROBBY:

She doesn’t worry about that.

SHARON:

They all worry about that.

They both smile wryly, driving on.

SHARON:

You don’t need to fix me, Robby,

or fix me up. I don’t want some

guy to heart and soul me and then

walk away ’cause he can’t stand

the cop thing --or worse:he

wants cop stories every night

’cause it turns him on, and he has

no idea who I am inside my head.

Anyway, I’m busy tonight.
